Hybrids between different subspecies of rice Oryza sativa L. commonly show hybrid sterility. Here we show that a widely planted commercial japonica/GJ variety, DHX2, exhibited hybrid sterility when crossing with other GJ varieties. Using the high-quality genome assembly, we identified three copies of the Sc gene in DHX2, whereas Nipponbare (Nip) had only one copy of Sc. Knocking out the extra copies of Sc in DHX2 significantly improved the pollen fertility of the F1 plant of DHX2/Nip cross. The population structure analysis revealed that a slight introgression from Basmati1 might occur in the genome of DHX2. We demonstrated that both DHX2 and Basmati1 harbored three copies of Sc. Moreover, the introgression of GS3 and BADH2/fgr from Basmati1 confers the slender and fragrance grain of DHX2. These results add to our understanding of the hybrid sterility of inter-subspecies and intra-subspecies and may provide a novel strategy for hybrid breeding.

A software tool for maximum likelihood estimation of individual ancestries from multilocus SNP genotype datasets. It uses the same statistical model as STRUCTURE but calculates estimates much more rapidly using a fast numerical optimization algorithm. It uses a block relaxation approach to alternately update allele frequency and ancestry fraction parameters. Each block update is handled by solving a large number of independent convex optimization problems, which are tackled using a fast sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Convergence of the algorithm is accelerated using a novel quasi-Newton acceleration method.
